Talalpsee

The Talsee, which lies at an altitude of 1100m, is a haven of tranquillity amidst a wildly romantic mountain landscape. The small mountain restaurant, the Talalp, is situated directly at the lakeside. Accessible by chairlift from Filzbach to the mountain station of Habergschwänd and then a 30-minute walk.
